Maybe more of a customised experience would provide more immersion? My ideas are: 1. Being able to add engravings on your weapons using a sharp object to make it feel more yours. 2. The ability to sew patches onto your clothing with an emblem or symbol on so you can recognise friend from foe. 3. More clothing options such as arm bands, bandannas, etc. 4. Or even being able to attach plating to your arms, legs and body so you receive less damage from gunshots on those parts of your body. On the negative this will make you slower and more noisy. 5. Face paint to make you more distinguishable to other players, more intimidating or so you can blend in. Please reply with your ideas, I would love to hear them!

Science Facilities, Mental Asylum, Hotels, Amusement Park, A Concert Ground, Office Buildings (Similar to Apartments), Capsized Container Ship with loot on shore, Civilian Plane Wreck, Abandoned Quarantine Zone and a High Value Prison.

I will go building by building: Houses - Food, Drink, Light clothing and a small possibility of finding either a pistol or a shotgun but with very little ammo. Police Station - Food, Drink, Medium clothing, Medical equipment, Pistols, Shotguns, Minimal Ammo and a small chance of finding a rifle. School - Food, Drink, Light Clothing, Medical Supplies and tools. Fire Station - Food, Drink, Medium Clothing, Axes, Medical Supplies and tools. Barracks - Food, Drink, Medium and Heavy Clothing, Axes, Medical Supplies, Weapons and Ammo. Store - Food, Drink, Medical Supplies and tools Airport Control Tower - Tools, Medical Supplies, Medium Clothing and Pistols. Hangers - Tools. Apartments - Food, Drink, Medical Supplies and Tools. Prison - Food, Drink, Medium Clothing, Medical Supplies, Pistols, Shotguns but little ammo. Garages - Light Clothing and Tools. Hospital - Medical Supplies, Food, Drink and Light Clothing. Tell me if I forgot something.

I know, but my original suggestion was to be able to make them from "junk loot" from around the map, to add more customisation.

Right now there are only bandannas for the top of the head, perhaps bandannas that could be worn across the nose and mouth, or even be able to have them as a sort of scarf!

Perhaps not weapons specifically from World War 2, maybe weapons from the 50s 60s 70s and 80s to provide more of a variety!

Perhaps adding more improvised equipment to provide more of an immersive experience as a survivor in the Apocalypse would benefit the game? My ideas are: 1. Improvised knives made from sticks and some sort of blade, (from a razor or a piece of flint) I realise that melee has not been fully implemented as of yet but hopefully will soon. 2. A wider variety of improvised backpacks or pouches to store supplies, these pouches could be across the chest instead of the gun holster. 3. Improvised everyday tools to open cans similar to the screwdriver. 4. Clothing made from fabrics found as loot such as blankets which could be used as a bandanna. I hope you guys can elaborate on my ideas and add more!

As cool as parkour would be I think that firstly how difficult it will be to implement into the game, and secondly I'm not sure it will suit what DayZ is aiming to become. But it would be very cool to have a zombie survival game with a parkour system!

Yes I think using the environment would improve the game greatly! I just thought of a new way to set "Signal Traps" by breaking a window or a bottle and scattering the glass pieces in a hallway or high traffic point so a player or zombies footsteps are louder and easier to distinguish!

Perhaps even being able to use all this "Junk Loot" and combine them to set traps for zombies, players or animals. These could vary from Bear Traps and Explosive Devices to a trip chord to make a visual or audio signal to alert a player or zombies in the area.

I really like the idea of improvised camouflage, that would be great for snipers or on the other hand it would be great to hide from snipers!
